[length: 04:11]
[00:09.80]Special shouts out go to
[00:13.34]My Aunt Sandra, and my Grandma Dorothy
[00:17.37]My two favorite girls, you dig the blues
[00:20.97]Coming up as a juvenile, 1983
[00:23.90]Had no idea, the Lord would take my mom away from me
[00:26.63]Cold part about it, I was only six when she died
[00:29.39]Aunt Sandra and Grandma Dorothy wipe the tears from my eye
[00:32.08]Ever since I could remember, they’ve been guardian angels
[00:34.76]Whenever life started choking me, they would loosen up the strangle
[00:37.64]Wish I had a million dollas, I would hand it over
[00:40.14]So I could see my Auntie in a Bentley, and my Gran’s in a Range Rover
[00:43.75]Who say two women couldn’t raise a man?
[00:45.87]They did everything, except put a pistol inside my hand
[00:48.56]Taught me when to fight, and taught me when to walk away
[00:51.29]The main reason why I’m not outlined in chalk today
[00:53.99]So many problems in my life, I’m glad they never left me lonely
[00:57.13]Much more than my Auntie and Grandmama, y’all my homies
[00:59.87]And can’t nobody ever take the place of my mama
[01:02.51]But raising me was hard, so I thank God for my
[01:04.88]Auntie and Grandmama
[01:08.79]When I thought I wouldn’t make it they
[01:10.32]Brought me through the drama
[01:14.17]I don’t know what I would do without
[01:15.91]Auntie and Grandmama
[01:19.56]When I thought I wouldn’t make it they
[01:21.44]Brought me through the drama
[01:28.16]Daddy was around, but he stayed gone
[01:30.58]Even when he was at home, he never stayed long
[01:33.28]He was in the street, so I raised myself
[01:35.44]Without his guidance I fell off, and almost played myself
[01:38.18]I got put out the house, and started living like a hobo
[01:40.98]Contemplating suicide, but Grandma said that was a no-no
[01:43.99]Then Auntie came and picked me up, and gave me some bread
[01:46.43]They gave me life, when everybody else done left me for dead
[01:49.14]I was in jail sometime, but they know I’m not a crook
[01:51.89]So they kept letters coming daily, and kept money on my books
[01:54.87]I thank the Lord for ’em, can’t nobody take they places
[01:57.62]I just wanna make ’em happy, keep a smile on they faces
[02:00.58]They deserve the world, the universe and the galaxy
[02:03.32]For staying by my side, through all my hard times and tragedies
[02:06.27]Can’t nobody ever take the place of my mama
[02:08.70]But raising me was hard, so I thank God for my
[02:10.98]Auntie and Grandmama
[02:14.83]When I thought I wouldn’t make it they
[02:16.57]Brought me through the drama
[02:20.37]I don’t know what I would do without
[02:22.01]Auntie and Grandmama
[02:25.10]When I thought I wouldn’t make it they
[02:27.53]Brought me through the drama
[02:33.53]Even though I got love for all my family members
[02:35.97]Only my two favorite girls show me love from December to December
[02:39.22]So I’m showing love back, it’s the least I can do
[02:42.14]For being my parents, and seeing me through
[02:44.25]We always had a lot of love in that household
[02:47.03]Didn’t have a lot of food, but I never had to keep my mouth closed
[02:50.39]Always had something hot on my plate
[02:52.59]A lot of times I was full, before my people even ate
[02:55.59]Aunt Sandra and Grandma Dorothy, y’all my blood for life
[02:58.16]Appreciate the way ya made sho’ the word of God, touched me right
[03:01.77]’Cause I’m a God-fearing man, ’til I’m in my grave
[03:04.13]Trying to make it to Heaven with y’all, no more sinning days
[03:06.94]If I had wishes to make, I would give em to y’all
[03:09.84]Because without your love, I would not be living at all
[03:12.83]Can’t nobody take the place of my mama
[03:14.77]But raising me was hard, so I thank God for my
[03:17.28]Auntie and Grandmama
[03:20.90]When I thought I wouldn’t make it they
[03:22.85]Brought me through the drama
[03:26.50]I don’t know what I would do without
[03:28.38]Auntie and Grandmama
[03:32.07]When I thought I wouldn’t make it they
[03:33.88]Brought me through the drama
